POOR PERFORMANCE

MSNBC Rips Bondi’s ‘Slack-Jawed, Whacked Out’ Confirmation Hearing

Hosts of “The Weekend” unimpressed by the incoming Attorney General’s appearance in front of the Senate this week.

Hosts of MSNBC’s flagship weekend talk show have blasted Pam Bondi’s performance during her confirmation hearings in the U.S. senate ahead of likely becoming the nation’s next Attorney General.

Noting that Bondi had in many instances skirted entirely the questions put to her by the panel of senators, The Weekend host Michael Steele drew particular attention to an exchange between the former Florida Attorney General and Texas Senator Ted Cruz.

Steele said, “What is stunning to me is that level of questioning was not put on Pam Bondi. And the moment, to me, [which] made the hearing a real sort of slaw-jacked, whacked out moment was the exchange with, you know, the senators around Donald Trump in his election results.”

“You know, she and Ted Cruz having this, finishing each other’s sentences moment where they’re talking about, you know, the election and she’s like, ‘Oh yes, 77 million people’,” he went on, mimicking Bondi’s pitch of voice as he summarized what she’d said.

By that point in the broadcast, Steele seemed increasingly exasperated by Republican members of the committee treating Bondi to what he appeared to think had been a free ride.

He said, “You know, it’s like, really? I mean, I know you’re concerned about the one and not the 330 million. So this is, I don’t know…”

Gathering his thoughts, he then added, “Y’all going to find out a whole lot of stuff and people going to be running around looking for help from people who aren’t there, and that’s going to be a big problem.”
